ANTI-SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IN MADARSAS

---

Lok Sabha

The Government have received reports regarding the misuse of some Madarsas along the Indo-Bangladesh and Indo-Nepal borders for illegal activities. Though there are no specific inputs with regard to Pakistan’s ISI being actively involved in these, this cannot be ruled out. The State Governments have been advised to take action under the provisions of the Religious Institutions (Prevention of Misuse) Act, 1988, wherever such places of worship/religious instructions are found to be indulging in illegal activities in violation of the Act.

This was stated by the Minister of State for Home Shri Ch. Vidyasagar Rao in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
